Fig, Prune & Avocado Milk

You'll all have heard about my new toy by now, I am sure. It's my brand new Vitamix.

So far I've made smoothies, pesto, pâté and I made Cooper a pinkalicious raspberry and vanilla milkshake.

I decided it was time to make a milkshake for me. Something a bit more luxurious. Something more suitable for adults. I used figs, prunes and avocado and flavoured the milk with cinnamon. I really enjoyed it. Something quite different. The flavours were spicy and warming.

My Vitamix blends very smoothly, but if your blender isn't as powerful, you could strain the milk before serving it.

You could also heat this milk for a comforting winter drink.
